I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling in 2016, worked for a substance abuse IOP until 2021 and have since been in private practice. I specialize in substance abuse but also work with many seeking help for anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, etc.
As a licensed mental health therapist, I believe prioritising mental health is important for happiness and balance. Taking the first step and seeking help can be the biggest hurdle. I look forward to walking with you on your mental health journey!
You should know that I take your concerns seriously, and I will meet you with compassion, respect, and zero judgment. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you have faced stigma, felt dismissed in the past, or worried about what a diagnosis might mean. My goal is to help you feel safe and at ease from the very first conversation.
As a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over eight years of experience in psychiatric and mental health care, I work with individuals across the lifespan. I commonly support people navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, stress-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other emotional or behavioral health challenges. I approach each person as a whole, not a label, and I take the time to understand your symptoms in the context of your life, your stressors, your strengths, and your goals.
In our work together, you can expect a collaborative, patient-centered approach. I believe treatment works best when you feel heard and involved, so we will discuss what you are experiencing, what has helped or not helped in the past, and what you want to be different moving forward. If medication is part of your care, I prioritize thoughtful, evidence-based decisions, clear education about options, and ongoing adjustments based on your response and preferences. I also value practical strategies and supportive guidance that you can apply between sessions.
Most importantly, I am passionate about each person I serve because I know you are important, and I recognize the courage it takes to seek help. My role is to offer steady, professional support and a trusting relationship as you work toward clarity, stability, and lasting wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Baltimore
Searching for therapists in Baltimore starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. The city has therapists across neighborhoods like Fells Point, Canton, Harbor East, and nearby areas, with many focused on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, approach, and training match your needs. Their profiles can help you see whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a large metro area like Baltimore, having many therapy options can make it harder to narrow the list. Start with practical factors that shape whether a therapist fits your life, including appointment availability, location, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. In-person care may work well if you prefer an office near home, work, or transit. Virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule changes often or you want more flexibility. Reading therapist bios before booking can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect.
Therapy in Baltimore can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for Baltimore therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you find a therapist who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
